The Chinese Empress, Pastin,e.

The Empress Regent of China is one
of the most remarkable women of the
age. Not content with directing the
intricate policy of the most populous
empire in the world with wonderful
cleverness and sagacity, she has now
entered the ranks of competitors for
the lightweight championship of the
Celestial Empire. Attired in a sort of
bloomer costume, she takes daily
lessons in boxing from an old eunuch
Her appearance at the age Of SO, in
short skirt, hitting out at her venerable
preceptor and occasionally receiving
punishment herself, must be comical
to the last degree, and the reports on
the matter form the subject OF a most
disrespectful merriment on the part Of
the almond-eyed denizens Of the
Chinese metropolis. The Empress
Regent was concubine OF the Emperor
Helm Fung, on whose death she was
appointed to act as co-Regent with the
Dowager Empress during the minority
of her son, the late Emperor lung Chi
When the latter died, few months
after his marriage, one Of those curious
intrigues which make the history of
oriental courts took place. His young
bride, who was e1ciente at the time of
the young monarch's death, died mys-
teriously before the birth Of tho child,
and the old Dowager Empress and CO.
Regent took her departure for another
world rather suddeniya few days after
ward, leaving the present Empress ia
undisputed possession of power. With
unusual ability she has Guided file
policy of the empire through the
troublous times which have resulted
from the opening up of the country to
foreign trade, and has so conducted
affairs as to have brought the nation to
an indefinitely higher degree Of pros
perity and tranquility than it enjoyed
when she took up the reins.--Hong

MOdesty and Discretion.

Most men like modest girls best.
Modesty is discretion; that's ALL The
modest girl won't let you hold her hand
when there's anybody likely to see; but
she's whole-souled when there's nobody
looking and gives you both her hands.
l have known young ladies who would
squeeze your hand tenderly, look into
your eyes, and do everything that was
agreeable in the most shameless man
ner before other people; but when they
were alone with you they'd sit half d
mile off and talk primly about the
weather. I don't think those girls
would make good wives. At all events,
they don't make good sweethearts, and
about marrying it is much the same as
with boys eating cherries. They lay
aside the best to finish up with, but
when they get to what they've laid aside
they're SO full of cherries they can't
enjoy any more. OF course there are
boys who eat all the good ones first.
But it seems to me all rules work both
ways anyway and end in discontinue of
some kind. The only rule of life ex-
perience brings us to is never to lose
chance of fun when we can get it.-iSan

Story of Wilkes Booths Death and
Burial.

Edward p. Doherty, who is now an
Indian trader on the Cheyenne River,
Dakota, held John Wilkes Booth in his
arms wien he died. He was in com
mand of the company which captured
him. Mr.. Doherty thus tells the
story:
81 WAS lieutenant then in charge of
my company, and had been in hot pur-
suit of Booth ever since he rode from
Washington. We knew he was, or had
been, i'll the neighborhooG where we
captured him, but had no definite idea
where he was hiding. On the after
noon OF April %, 1865, I was riding at
the head of the few soldiers with me,
along country road, when by chance
we met a person who told us where
Booth was hiding. We had already
left the house five or six miles in the
rear. That night, or rather the next
morning about o'clock, we sur
rounded the barn where he was cor
cealed.
at was kind of tobacco house, and
rather small. OF course he was on
the alert and heard us closing in upon
him. We called upon him to sur
render, but he refused Some one set
fire to the barn and l rushed up TO the
door. Booths companion came for
ward and surrendered to me. At this
Juncture the soldiers We're closing in
rapidly, and none too soon, for Booth
raised his gun to shoot me when the
report of Corbett's rife rang out clear
and sharp upon the morning air. The
actor fell forward rs rushed to him
and caught him in my arms. The ball
had penetrated his head in almost the
same spot where he had shot Lincoln.
l lifted him in my arms and carried
him out Of the burning barn. I spoke
to him, but the only words he uttered
were: 'Uselcss Useless!' 1 think he

companion and that he meant resistance

Peoplc of the Stage.

One of the most prominent of the
physicians of London who has a wide
practice among the theatrical profess
sion, says that the members Of that
profession are physically different from
people in ordinary professions Of life.
Their temperaments are also different.
The physician said: II have to give
very much different advice to an actor
or an actress than [ would the members
Of almost any other profession, All
successful actors or actresses have ex-
cessively nervous temperaments. They
are nearly always morbidly sensitive.
Medicines act with different degrees of
effect upon them, and at the same time
you have to prescribe for them much
different regimen. The actor may appear
to be at deaths door one moment, so
far as his physical condition can testify,
and in an Incredible space of time you
will find him at normal again. have
Just come this evening from witnessing
the performance of Mrs. Beerbohn
Tree in AS in Looking-glass. She
is great actress, and the line of work
she does is very fine in that play. When
she came off the stage this evening at
the close OF the last act L examined her
pulse and the condition of her heart. "
$50 you have been examining Mrs.
Trees heart, have you? What de-
lightful occupation!"
".Ihis is no joking matter, assure
you, )" said the doctor, gravely. II am
talking seriously. 1 found her pulse
and heart to indicate most tremendously
abnormal conditions. Such condition
of her pulse and heart with member
Of any other profession would have been
most positive evidence of dangerous
physical arrangement and disease.
This condition with her continued for
some time, and then she regained her
normal condition without apparently
being any the worse for the extraordi-
nary condition which she had just
passed. "-Lo7ado1a letter.

The UN!ial..

Our word dollar dates back to 1885,
when resolution was passed by Con
gress which provided that it should be
the unit of money of the United
States Another resolution was passed
in 1855, August 5, providing that it
should weigh 375. 81 grains OF pure
silver. Tho mint was established in
1899, and was then required to coin
silver dollars containing 371. grains
Of pure silver. This was due to the
influence Of Alexander Hamilton. No
dollars We're coined until 1894, and then
irregular. They are worth now 500
each. In 1894 the coinage of regular
dollars began. Our coin was an aIapta-
ton Of the Spanish milled dollar, q
coin very popular wherever the Span
iards travelled. The coin was called
"piaster," meaning a flat piece of
metal; it 10 synonymous with PLASTER.
1t is supposed that the Spaniards took
the German "thaler" and called it bv
the namo of plaster The word dol
lar is entered in Bailey's English Die
tionary in 1745, and was used re-
peatedly by Shakespeare at the
beginning Of tho seventeenth century,
especially in "Macbc.h," IL >, 81:
"Till She dishursed ten thou
sand dollars to our gene,a al uso" See
also "the Tempest" ii. 1:l7.) The
question where Shakespeare found the
word dollar is answered by the fact
that the Hanseatic towns maintained a
great establishment called the Steel
Yard in London. The Steel Yard
merchants were mostly North Germans,
who would call the German thaler, as
it was spoiled. "dah-ler." These same
merchants occasioned the word sterling,

A BULLETIN of the United States
Fish Commission, just issued, gives the
following account of the killing of
man by sword fish: "The schooner
Venus is q small vessel of about twelve
tons, engaged in the general fisheries
off the coast of Massachusetts,. On
Monday morning Capt. Langford sailed
from home in pursuit of sword fish.
About IL q. M, when eight miles north.
east from Halibut Point, in Ipswich
Bay, fish was seen. The Captain,
with one man, taking adory, gave chase
and soon harpooned the fish, throwing
over a buoy with q line attached to the
harpoon, after which the fish was left
and they returned to the vessel for din
ner. About an hour later the Captain,
with one man, again took his dory and
went out to secure the fish. Picking
up the buoy, Capt. Langford took hold
of the line, pulling his boat toward the
sword fish, which was quite large and
not badly wounded. The line was
taut as the boat neared the fish, which
the Captain intended to lance and thus
kill it. When near the fish, but too
far away to reach it with the lance, it
quickly turned and rushed at and under
the boat, thrusting it's sword up through
the bottom OF the boat twenty-three
inches. AS the fish turned and rushed
toward the boat the line was suddenly
Stacked, causing the Captain to fall
over on his back, and while he was in
the act Of rising, the sword came pierre
ing through the boat and into his body.
At this time another sword fish was in
sight near by, and the Captain, excited
and anxious to secure both, raised linn
self up, not knowing that he was
wounded Seeing the sword, he seized
it, exclaiming: We've got him any
way! He lay in the bottom of the
dory, holding fast to the sword until
his vessel came alongside, while the
fish, being under the boat, could not be
reached. Soon the Captain said 4
think l am hurt, and quite badly.
When the vessel arrived he went on
board, took a few steps and fell, never
rising again. The boat and fish were
soon hoisted on board. when the sword
was chopped off to free the boat, and
the fish was killed on the deck of the
vessel. The fish weighed 245 pounds
after its head and tail were cut off and
the viscera removed; when alive it
weighed something over 800 pounds.
Capt. Langford survived the injury
about three days.
